Reporting Spam

No one likes spammers, including the Khoros Community team! Here are some methods for reporting spam on our community.

Spam in Private Messages: Did you receive a suspicious Private Message from another user? To report this issue to our team, click on the gray three-dot menu at the right side of any message and choose Report Message, and we'll handle the abuse as soon as possible. Please include the username and content of the message you received.

Spam in Posts: If you spot a forum post, question, or blog comment that appears to be spam, please flag it to the Khoros Community team by clicking the grey gear icon at the top right of a post and select "Report". Be sure to note that the post appears to be spam.

Thanks for your help in keeping the Khoros Community spam free!

  •  Hi,

     

    JohnD  Can you customize the text "Report inappropriate content" to say something different?  

     

    We are looking to our users to help identify and flag old or inaccurate content....this feature is great but we would like to replace the word "inappropriate".

     

    Thanks,

     

    Christine

  • Hi team! I've noticed a strange UI thing with the new Khoros theme which made it difficult for me to report spam - the "options / three-dot" menu doesn't appear until you actually hover over the post in question. This is super confusing and makes it even harder to know how to report spam.

    See little movie that hopefully explains what I mean.
